8 Contact Hours / 0.8 CEUs Once there is an initial injury or insult to the lumbar spine, the lumbar segment (especially de disc) begins to go through a lifespan of changes. Dr Valerie Phelps and Dr. Jean-Michel Brismèe explain in this online course why low back problems can become persistent disorders and how not only mechanical, but also chemical, psychosocial, and nutritional factors can play a role in both the recurrence and the recovery of lumbopelvic conditions. The IAOM-US Diagnosis and Management of the Lumbosacral Spine and Sacroiliac Joint online course takes an in-depth look at primary and secondary pathoanatomy, biomechanics, basic and segmental clinical examination and interpretation, management suggestions and specific approaches to diagnose and treat lumbar and pelvic related disorders.

0.6 Contact Hours / 0.06 CEU Pelvic Floor Dysfunction is an umbrella term for several different diagnoses. Physical therapists who are aware of how the pelvic floor is closely related to the spine and hips are better equipped to fully address their patients’ complaints. Pelvic floor physical therapists are able to treat the entire musculoskeletal system and also address pelvic health issues such as bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction. Many quality of life issues that are frequently treated by pelvic floor physical therapists may be missed during an initial evaluation purely due to clinicians’ lack of knowing how to screen for them. For example, a teenage gymnast or elderly post-prostatectomy patient may also be experiencing urinary incontinence. Another example is a patient post-MVA who may experience coccydynia along with cervicalgia from whiplash. In this course, you’ll learn what to ask your patients during an evaluation to determine if they might be experiencing a pelvic floor issue. You’ll also be able to provide basic education to the patient and help them seek a pelvic floor physical therapist. Target group: PT Education Level: Basic

0.7 Contact Hours / 0.07 CEUs Have you ever heard a patient say that it has taken them a year to recover from surgical anesthesia? After understanding the ischemia reperfusion injury, you will realize that their fatigue and difficulty recovering is actually related to return of blood flow to the limb, and likely not to the anesthesia at all. This webinar brings to light the latest information on the musculoskeletal and systemic effects of tourniquet release in orthopedic surgeries. While most understand the effects of ischemia of a limb during ischemia, few practitioners are aware of the even more detrimental local and global effects when the limb is reperfused. Understanding particularly the latter, will bring a better understanding of post-surgical patient conditions and lead to greater success in patient outcomes.
